Reflection

 End of this journey

Hello everyone. The due date is finally here, and I’m not going to lie, I’m anxious, and exited for everyone to see what I have created, but also I’m melancholic, since I did like producing this project, and I’m not sad, but I feel that I’m going to miss this (maybe the editing not so much…). I can’t believe that I am so close to finishing HALF of my final project (since I still have to do the essays), but I’m grateful, because of how much I learned.

Reflection

I loved this project… when I found out about it, I was not very exited, since would have to blog about it (and a small detail is that I don’t really liked to write), but at the end, I liked what I had created (and realized that I hate writing essays, which are very different from blogs), and I am very proud of the final result.

The Awakening

I feel that I haven’t talked about the opening in ages, and I never did a reflection on it, so, here I come…

Even tough I postponed everything, since I just wasn’t exited about doing it; I ended up liking very much my creation. It was the first time that I had the opportunity to create something from scratch, and also the very first time I took a class like this. 

When I started the project I knew a lot of stuff that Ms. Stoklosa taught me during the school year, but now, I feel that I learned much more things, and that I was able to learn better the things that I sludge knew.

I loved the fact that we didn’t have to do anything in specific, but the only instruction was “two minute opening of a film”. At the beginning, I wished for more instructions, since there were so many things that I could do, but after, I realized that that was the only way to really do a great project 100% made by us. I think that I’m as proud as I am of my opening, because I created it 100%, and everything was my idea.

This project also helped me realize that every little detail in cinema has a meaning, and that even tough there are millions of films out there, each and every one of them has an giant amount of work behind. 

How the editing of "The Awakening" ended up looking like

Editing

I think I never told all of you how the editing process of “The Awakening” went, but as I already said, at the beginning I hated editing, but through this process I learned a lot about it, and I ended up liking to edit, to a level that I even offered my dad help with some videos that he had to do. 

The most challenging thing about the editing for me was and still is the sound. It’a very difficult for me to make it sound normal, but at the end, I felt comfortable with it.

CCR’s

The part of the project that I liked the least were the CCR’s, and even tough they helped a lot to reflect about what I created, I just felt that they were a bit extra, and not really necessary. 

My goodbyes

Even tough I’m not leaving, and I’ll keep posting, I wont post more stuff about the creation of the portfolio project (in exception for the final post with the links). I enjoyed this project very much, and I’m while I’m exited for you all to see my creation; I’m also sad that I wont be posting about it anymore, since 4 out of 7 days of the week for the past months I have been posting, and I just feel that its going to be really weird not to post and edit during the weeks…

I hope to post more soon, and remember to check out the next blog that’s going to have the links for the opening of “The Awakening”, and the CCR videos.
